Next, Li Yannian ceremoniously entertained Tang Ling and Tang Wan'er as the host, during the banquet, he put his position very upright, and even did not let go of some details, so thoughtful that Tang Ling couldn't find fault.

Everyone had no grievances in the past and no enemies in the near future, Tang Ling really couldn't find any reason or excuse to start a war with others this time.

The purpose was not achieved, where did Tang Ling be in the mood to eat, the taste was like chewing wax to fill his stomach, and then expressed his gratitude to Li Tangkui for his hospitality, Tang Ling and Tang Wan'er had to leave.

After Tang Ling and Tang Wan'er left, a few people came out of the back room, and a relatively slender man came to Li Yannian and said, "Big brother, you can certainly delay it for a while by doing this, but after the official opening of the school, King Ling can also openly challenge you through the opening ceremony!" ”

"yes, that's what I want."

"Huh?" After listening to Li Yannian's words, the slender man was stunned.

"In this way, His Highness has achieved his goal, and I don't have to face their questioning!" As plain as ever, Li Yannian showed a chuckle at the end.

"They..."

At the same time, Tang Ling, who had left the main hall of the academy, also learned from Tang Wan'er about the challenge convention at the opening ceremony, this practice lasted for nearly a thousand years, and there will be every session, on the same day, as long as it is a student of the Imperial Academy, he will have a chance to challenge anyone in the academy, pay attention, it is "anyone"!

Of course, although Tang Ling can also directly challenge the head of the academy, but in this way, he has no reason to use the position of the head of the academy as a bet, because the academy will not allow this kind of overstepping situation, otherwise everyone wants to challenge the head of the academy, so the academy is not chaotic?

In this way, an unspoken rule has been formed, and only the leaders of each school have the power to challenge the head of the academy.

"It looks like it's much deeper than I thought!"

Within the academy, there are many factions, different research systems, different funding forces behind them, and even clubs that study the same system fight with each other, any factor may make students or teachers form small groups and small clubs.

Not only that, Tang Ling's current identity is "standing out from the crowd" in the academy, and to the hostile forces, he is a bright light in the night that is enough to flash the eyes of a blind dog, and he can't do it if he doesn't want to!

is like the doorman who pretended to be stupid in front of the palace gate and wanted to make things difficult for him, like the brainless student who also rushed out in front of the palace gate to relieve him, like Li Yannian, who insisted on forcing him to get the position of the top of the hall by defeating himself in front of the teachers and students of the whole college.

Originally, because of the sudden entry of several bigwigs, the nature of the academy has changed, and now in order to strengthen the strength of the academy, all countries are constantly sending talents to the academy, and the empire is naturally no exception, many people like Tang Wan'er who left the academy without graduating normally have begun to return one after another, continue to complete their unfinished studies in the academy, and at the same time, also take advantage of this to win more benefits for the forces and families behind them.

As a result, in such a situation, the academy, which was already full of factions, became even more mixed and chaotic.

······

After a night of silence, Tang Ling had already begun to feel a headache. The next day, according to Tang Ling's order, Tang Jiu brought the personnel of the Ling Wan Chamber of Commerce's office in the academy to his villa for a meeting.

Since it was decided to rectify the academy, Tang Ling needed all kinds of support from the Ling Wan Chamber of Commerce, so today, it was not so much a meeting as Tang Ling who called them to assign tasks.

I don't know if this is not a meeting, a meeting really scared Tang Ling, the Ling Wan Chamber of Commerce has now fully taken over, and the main private markets in various parts of the empire that have been vacated after squeezing out the Ocean Chamber of Commerce. Relying on the influence of the Baoling fleet in the eastern seas of the empire now, no one dared to move the merchant ships of the Ling Wan Chamber of Commerce escorted by the Dolphin Mercenary Group.

In the past five years, relying on the cooperation with the Yin Zhao Chamber of Commerce and the Kaiyuan Chamber of Commerce, the Ling Wan Chamber of Commerce has transported a large number of various foreign goods into the empire. The three parties boldly set up the trading location on the high seas, which not only saves everyone's transportation costs, but also strengthens security, whether it is a mercenary group or a pirate group, now in the west of the high seas, the power of Baochuan Island is the most powerful, and, as a transit place for materials, there is a big family composed of dozens of sword sharks living outside the island, and there is no dispute about security!

Not only that, but the Seven Star Lake around the main peak of the Qin Mountain Range, because the Ling Wan Chamber of Commerce has the technology to desalinate seawater, and the environmental remediation achievements on Baochuan Island are also recognized by the whole empire. As a result, the task of remediating Qixing Lake, where the water level is decreasing day by day, fell into the hands of the Ling Wan Chamber of Commerce, and as a condition for inviting the Chamber of Commerce to help, all the twelve pastures in the Qin Mountains around the Tianshan Mountains were assigned to the name of King Ling.

From now on, in addition to the right of first refusal of all the products produced by the ranch, all the management and operation of the ranch have nothing to do with the empire, as long as Tang Ling's family has not been destroyed, the surname here has always been Tang.

The Qixing River flowing down from the Qixing Lake is the river of life of the Great Qin Empire, and there is a serious shortage of water, and once the river of life is dried up again, hundreds of millions of people will have to die, so from this point of view, the remuneration of more than a dozen ranches is already light.

In addition, the Lingwan Chamber of Commerce also dug dozens of large canals along the southeastern coast of the empire, connecting them to form a huge transportation network, making transportation between various coastal areas more convenient. The excavated earth and rocks were not wasted, and after satisfying the needs of Hofune Island, the stones were used as building materials, and the soil was used to treat the arid areas.

In the western desert of the empire, on the southern coast of the Tianshan Mountains, the Lingwan Chamber of Commerce took over a county of land for afforestation. In order to change the environment here first, the Lingwan Chamber of Commerce spent a year in the center of this nearly 6,000 square kilometers of land, making a large lake with an area of nearly 100 square kilometers, and using this as a base, hundreds of tributaries were dug out to the surrounding areas, densely scattered in this afforestation area.

Today, the first trees in this wooded area are three years old, the thickest is larger than the thighs of adult men, and the fish, shrimp and crabs in the central lake have been breeding for generations. In the forest, flowers, birds, insects, pheasants and hares are also beginning to see scale.

"In other words, I'm already a real tyrant?" After listening to Tang Jiu's report in a daze, Tang Ling couldn't react a little, where did he think that the Ling Wan Chamber of Commerce would develop so violently!

"Yes, young master, now in the empire, there will not be more than a hundred people who are richer than you!" Putting away the report, Tang Jiu said solemnly, to be honest, if it weren't for Tang Ling coming back, in order to report the results to him, even Tang Jiu, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, would not have expected that the current Ling Wan Chamber of Commerce would be so huge!
